Who gets the best milage, the new dodges or the new fords?

Or are you talking about the fleet average?
I should have said the new dodges with the diesel motors or the fords with the new 6.7 motors in the 3/4 ton trucks.
Yoder.....!!!

My brother has a Dodge 1/2 ton and it sucks gas.
My 6.7 Cummins sucks fuel like a pig.
The 03 5.9 Cummins with 4wd got 27 mpg st sea level at 58mph.
20 mpg in the hill country.
Lucky to get 15mpg with the 6.7 and that is not even 55mph.[:(!].
I could kick myself in the * if I would not fall down.
My O6 Cummins 5.9 4WD duelly does 23 empty if I drive 72 or less. I can pull my enclosed car hauler and get over 15 with a car inside.

You need to read this thread before you make the jump.

Thanks for the links. I read everything and it still has me wondering which truck to get. My 1999 f250 has 325000 mile on it and still runs fair. I drive 125 miles a day back and forth to work and have never broken down with the 7.3 diesel but the wife wants me to get a new truck and I don't see any of them getting the 21.5 mpg that I am getting now. I like no truck payments and I just can't convince myself to spend $50000. for a truck that gets worse milage than what I am getting now. Does anybody know of a diesel truck that is getting 21 or 22 mpg thats new? I don't need a 4 X 4 but I do like the full 4 doors and the 6 1/2 ft. beds.
